Temporary Investor Visas
Relocating to the USA can be a very stressful and difficult business. There are however, a few ways to better your chances of successfully being granted a visa. One of the best ways of doing this, is to select an investor visa, of which there are two main kinds, permanent and temporary.
The temporary investor visa is called the E-2.
The E-2 visa is commonly referred to as the temporary green card. This is because there is no top-end limit to the visa term and so extensions and renewals can be applied any number of times providing the conditions of your visa are still met.
The purpose of this visa is to allow foreign people who have invested considerable amounts in the US to relocate there to further develop and run the business or businesses that they have invested in.
To be eligible for the E-2 visa, you must be either the investor, or otherwise an essential employee such as a director or manager of the foreign company that made the investment and you and the large shareholders of the company are nationals in a country that have a long term Treaty of Trade, Friendship and Commerce with the United States.
Executives and other essential employees must be from the same country as the corporation to be eligible for the E-2 visa. You will have to show that you are in the process of making an investment or that in investment has already been made.
The E-2 visa is for those who wish to invest a substantial sum of money either into an existing business for shares, or to start up a new business. The visa is most suited to those intending to play and active part in the running and direction of the business, and therefore may not be suitable for a silent investor.
Because of the unique complexities of investing in a U.S. business, it is highly advisable to seek competent legal advice on the types of investment that may qualify for an E2. After receiving such advice, the next step is likely to be to contact a reputable business broker that has an awareness of the requisite criteria for making a qualifying E-2 investment. - 23217
